Did Newsweek Suffer a Pang of Conscience?

Newsweek has apparently scrubbed its lead story on education of some offensive content. The original headline read "The Problem with Education Is Teachers." Well, that's gone. So is the following subhead: "Getting rid of bad teachers is the solution to turning around failing urban schools." (Earlier this week, I got pretty worked up over their hatchet job on teachers.)

Did they succumb to mass outrage? Did they succumb to pangs of conscience?

Can anyone find the original version of those articles in the Google cache?

[Hat tip to an anonymous commenter for discovering the change.]
